<p>If you are experiencing a leak in your Hydroviv water filter, please follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:</p><ol><li>Make sure your cold water valve is turned off, and the sink&apos;s cold faucet is on to relieve any pressure in the system.</li><li>Unscrew the filter housing lid and check for the presence and proper placement of rubber o-rings at the top and bottom of the filter cartridge to ensure that they form a tight seal. Also, ensure that the black rubber o-ring is securely seated in the inner rim of the housing.</li><li>After checking and reseating any misplaced o-rings, hand tighten the lid back onto the housing as much as possible.</li><li>Use the blue plastic housing wrench that came with your system to further tighten the lid, then loosen it a little and hand-tighten again to form a stronger seal.</li></ol><p>This process helps create a more compressed seal to prevent leaks.

Why can't I tighten my lid during the initial installation?

Measure the Outside Diameter (OD) of your pipe or pipe fitting:.

<p><span dir="ltr" id="isPasted"></span></p><p><strong>Measure the Outside Diameter (OD) of your pipe or pipe fitting:</strong></p><ol><li>Wrap a string around the pipe.</li><li>Mark the point where the string touches together.</li><li>Use a ruler or measuring tape to find the length between the tip of the string and the mark you made (circumference)</li><li>Divide the circumference by 3.14159.</li></ol><p></p>
